Failure

It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

- Tracy, Brian

Best Quotes about Failure

Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory.

Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.

Proverb, African

If you have tried to do something and failed, you are vastly better off than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded. You must never regret what might have been. The past that did not happen is as hidden from us as the future we cannot see.

Stern, Richard Martin

It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

Tracy, Brian

All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say, This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.

Roosevelt, Eleanor

Remember your past mistakes just long enough to profit by them.

Mckinnon, Dan

My downfall raises me to infinite heights.

Bonaparte, Napoleon

To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.

Viscott, David

Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.

Winfrey, Oprah

10.

The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.

Eliot, George

11.

Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.

Givens, Charles J.

12.

Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail once and it's all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most people can handle. If you're willing to accept failure and learn from it, if you're willing to consider failure as a blessing in disguise and bounce back, you've got the potential of harnessing one of the most powerful success forces.

Sugarman, Joseph

13.

Turn your scars into stars

Schuller, Robert H.

Hobson, Tom

15.

They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.

Aldrich, Thomas B.

We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.

Grayson, David

27.

Failure, then, failure! so the world stamps us at every turn. We strew it with our blunders, our misdeeds, our lost opportunities, with all the memorials of our inadequacy to our vocation. And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out! No easy fine, no mere apology or formal expiation, will satisfy the world's demands, but every pound of flesh exacted is soaked with all its blood. The subtlest forms of suffering known to man are connected with the poisonous humiliations incidental to these results.

James, William

28.

I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

Edison, Thomas A.

29.

When we can begin to take our failures seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.

Mansfield, Katherine

30.

I think you actually get a kick out of being disappointed and under-achieving, because it's easier, isn't it? Failure and unhappiness is easier because you can make a joke out of it.

David Nicholls

32.

Failure -- The man who can tell others what to do and how to do it, but never does it himself.

Hubbard, Elbert

33.

Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, I have failed three times,and what happens when he says, I am a failure.

Hayakawa, S. I.

34.

Failure is an event, never a person.

Brown, William D.

35.

Failure too is a form of death...

Greene, Graham

Every failure is a step to success.

Whewell, William
